SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 5th - SUNDAY 7th AUGUST 2016

GOODBYE TO A LEGEND

He decorated our lives with some of racing’s greatest moments; he inspired generations of horsemen to reach for the skies; and he showed us the way professionals should conduct themselves.

Above all, he’s been an exemplary human being, a dependable pal, a father and a husband the way we’d all like to be. And a not too shabby golfer.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 5th - SUNDAY 7th AUGUST 2016 Kent Rock is consistent and course and distance suits

RA FLAMINGO MILE at Flamingo Park on Saturday

D

Multiple SA champion trainer Mike de Kock saddled Enaad to a thrilling Gold Cup victory on Sunday on the SA Champions Season stage. He demonstrates his extraordinary versatility as he travels North to the humbler climes of Kimberley just six days later to saddle the Brazillian product Toro Rosso in the R200 000 RA Flamingo Mile.

e Kock has travelled to all corners of the globe in his quest to win races big and small, and while he will only saddle one on Saturday, the presence of an MDK runner in the non black-type feature will add plenty of glamour to the Diamond City’s biggest race day of the year.

Past Success

Visiting horses have a fair record in the race with the never-say-die Uncle Tommy winning it in 2013 and Caryl’s Law in 2012. De Kock’s Capricorn Ridge ran third behind former Cape horse Stone Pine last year.

Recently crowned SA champion apprentice Callan Murray takes the ride on the Elusive Quality entire, Toro Rosso, who has been set a welter impost of 62kgs. That will mean a fair amount of dead weight to be lumped – and while opinions differ on the pros and cons, there are

many who argue that this is not a negative factor.

Toro Rosso may not have qualified to stand as a stallion at this stage of the game, but is clearly the class horse and has run some very decent races on the Vaal sand. He was placed fourth behind Deputy Jud in the 2015 Gr2 Supreme Cup. The son of Elusive Quality looked to be a horse going places early on, winning 4 of his 7 starts by an aggregate of 20 lengths.

He came back to form when ridden by the young Murray last time on the Vaal 1400m turf when disposing of Kings Archer easily in an MR 91 Handicap.

This will be his first run on the Flamingo sand.

Local Hopes

There are a few decent local challengers, who will enjoy the added advantage of experience.

The well drawn course and distance winner Kent Rock catches the eye.

The son of Right Approach has been rested 9 weeks since

a fast finishing second to Jaguar over 1 400m.

He was beaten a short head

by Jaguar and now meets him on 4kgs better terms – so if fit and ready should go close.

Good Form

Stef Miller also saddles recent ‘import’ Doctorow.

The Trippi gelding, formerly with Dean Kannemeyer in Cape Town, has had two good runs in Kimberley and won his last, beating Quid Rides over Saturday’s track and trip.

The title chasing Andrew Fortune is aboard Jaguar for Corrie Lensley.

We have already indicated that he has a big task on his hands, but the master Fortune is worth a few lengths.

Visitor

Stone Pine won the race last year and is in bright form after having won his last start.

He is very effective over the course and distance and will strip a fit horse, having won just three weeks ago.

Spike Lerena travels from

Gauteng with the Casey Tibbs gelding Cumberland, who looks a runner if adapting to local conditions.

He has won on the sand and showed good pace against fair opposition before beaten into second by Like A Boss over the Turffontein 1400m.

Cliffie Miller’s evergreen Kingofmountain ran fourth in this event last year and has shown a welcome return to form in his last four runs – all over Saturday’s course and distance.

His wide draw is a deterrent but he is a horse who can be dropped in – and has a handy galloping weight to carry.

Only Human

Trainer Bill Human has three in the race. The Australian-bred Triumvirate may be the best of the trio and steps up to a mile with a good draw and a handy galloping weight. La Tourelle enjoys a nice swing at the weights with Stone Pine after being beaten 5,25 over 200m shorter last time. His earlier form was not impressive. Yesan Star is drawn on the wide outside and seems best at 200m less than what he tries on Saturday.

Duncan Mckenzie’s Big Shot has his first run in Kimberley and has fairly ordinary form.

Candice Dawson saddles her

first Flamingo runner with the former Ramsden runner Sundari. The son of Fort Wood is an unknown quantity but has no recent spark to suggest any fire on Saturday.

The same applies to Lavendar Landscape who ran a shocker last time.

Choice

Toro Rosso looks the right one and despite his topweight, could be superior to this lot. He looks to have enough ability to get the season under way in style.

He is the choice to beat Kent Rock and Cumberland. It is a nice card and decent payouts look to be on the cards.

All Roads Lead To Kimberley THIS Saturday’s Flamingo Park Raceday is the highlight of the Kimberley horseracing calendar.

The 2016 renewal will also mark the first anniversary of sponsor World Sports Betting’s entry into the horseracing arena.

The day is headed by the R200 000 RA Flamingo Mile and the supporting features are the R135 000 World Sports Betting Sprint over 1000m and the R100 000 RA Diamond Stayers over 2200m.

The programme has been well supported and the features attract the best horses from Kimberley as well as a few bold raiders from other provinces.

Kimberley’s biggest racing weekend will commence with the Racing Association’s Northern Cape Awards on Friday evening.

These awards will honour the sport’s regional stakeholders who have excelled throughout the season. At the function, runners participating in the RA Flamingo Mile will be ‘auctioned off’ with a percentage of the takings being donated to a local charity.

A great family day out with a host of children’s activities will be offered on Saturday at the track.

Fully inclusive hospitality in the Racing Association facility is on offer at R450 per person which includes food and beverages.

For bookings please call Merle Parker at 011 683 3220 or email merle@ racingassociation.co.za.

RA Members with runners in the feature races have been invited as guests of the Racing Association.

Mike’s Marinaresco Magic Moment

Marinaresco (Grant van Niekerk) comes away to win well

Better than Pocket Power says thrilled jockey Gr1 CHAMPIONS CUP

at Greyville last Sunday

T

The high quality Silvano gelding Marinaresco put his best foot forward to set up a magical moment in a fairytale farewell for veteran trainer Mike Bass as the curtain came down on the 2016 SA Champions Season at Greyville on Sunday.

he thrilling victory by the Mauritzfontein Stud-bred 3yo, under a superb ride by Grant Van Niekerk, played out on a day of thrills and high drama. And on a stage that fought a life and death battle for survival after an uncertain few months – in a week that would have added fifty shades of grey to Gold Circle’s frontman, Graeme Hawkins.

In the end the R1 million

Gr1 Mike & Carol Bass Champions Cup would go down in racing history as a gracious gesture to a living legend of the sport. And the final turf race of the season, as the racing operator, no doubt with a sense of relief, called time on what is hopefully to prove a priority item in the new term.

The Marinaresco good-luck story first saw light of day in the Cape Winter Series.

The smart galloper walked away with honours in the

first two legs of the Triple Crown, only ever won once previously – that by his much saluted stablemate Pocket Power a decade earlier.

Pocket Power, like Marinaresco, raced in the Marsh Shirtliff silks,and dead-heated with Dancer’s Daughter to win the July in 2008.

With Marsh Shirtliff itching to win the sought after trophy again, it was decided to give the Winter Series a miss with Marinaresco and go for the July. Some thought it crazy

– and when they drew 19 for Africa’s Greatest, the writing was on the wall as the tailpullers popped the thumbs-up.

As history will show, only the brilliance of Piere Strydom was to be the eventual undoing of Marinaresco, who started his engine a fraction too late on that first Saturday of July, and chased The Conglomerate in vain for a July runner-up berth.

The opportunity to win the Gr1 Champions Cup named in Mike & Carol’s honour, while probably not part of the original plan, was obviously too tempting to miss and facing a beatable field, Marinaresco delivered the goods on a beautiful Sunday to add the cheer to a Gr1 cherry, forty

years in the making. When Marinaresco came for home closer to last, the ghost of The Conglomerate appeared from nowhere and was back to haunt him, as St Tropez drifted across and closed the gap that Van Niekerk so dearly wanted – and the writing once again looked to be on the wall.

But riding a determined finish on a superior horse, the young jockey rode for his life and enjoyed the luxury of easing up before the line, as Marinaresco stormed home to beat a late finishing Judicial by 1,25 lengths in a time of 112,75 secs. The always game No Worries was a neck back in third, with Saratoga Dancer running a great race in fourth.

The rest is history as they

say. Labelled by Grant Van Niekerk as ‘better than Pocket Power’ – a big statement from a guy who was still at school when the Bass champion was thrilling us – Marinaresco naturally looks to be an exciting player in the BassRobinson plans for next term.

He has won 4 races with 6 places from 11 starts and took his stakes total to R1 956 325.

Marinaresco is a 2014 BSA National Yearling Sale graduate. He was purchased

by Mike Bass Racing for R1,3 million.

Bred by Mauritzfontein Stud, he is by Silvano out of the two-time winning Fort Wood mare, Gay Fortuna.

All that is left to say is…

Goodbye Mike. Good luck Candice!

Gr2 GOLD CUP at Greyville last Sunday

I

Newly crowned SA champion jockey S’manga Khumalo could hardly contain his joy as the Mike de Kock trained Enaad crossed the line first to win the R1,25 million Gr2 Gold Cup at Greyville on Saturday. ‘Bling’ as he is known to his legion of fans, took both hands off the reins at the post and followed up with a Dettori flying dismount in the number 1 box.

n his day the mercurial Khumalo is pure poetry in motion in the saddle and a showman of note. The display of unbridled delight was probably more a relieved farewell to a season where things haven’t always worked out the way they could have, than anything designed to impress. But for now, this was a second national champion jockey title in the bag and a top drawer display of race riding in South Africa’s premier staying race – sadly downgraded in its 95th year to a Gr2. Multiple SA champion trainer Mike de Kock is a master of this race and was celebrating his fourth victory in the 21st century in a marathon with a colourful past and great spectator appeal.

De Kock saddled the ill-fated Wild One to win last year, as well as Ancestral Fore in 2010 and Thundering Star in 2007. For Khumalo it was a first Gold Cup win and something he can now tick off his bucket list. He has some way to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, the retired Felix Coetzee, who broke Charlie Barends’ record when riding his eighth winner in the 3200m event in 2012 on In Writing for Dean Kannemeyer.

Buoyed by his recent Gold Vase top four finish, De Kock brought the kitchen sink to war with five of the 16 runners carrying the famous stable’s flag.

After a lengthy delay as a result of Gauteng challenger Arch Rival being reshod, the field were despatched on a track that looked tired after taking the brunt of a long season. With stablemate Kingston Mines winging his way out front, Bling had the lukewarm favourite Enaad relaxed some twenty lengths off the action. De Kock was 1-2 early as Smart Mart snapped at Kingston Mine’s heels with Fortune Fella, Solar Star, The Centenary Coltrane, Helderberg Blue, Ovidio and Master Sabina following.

Enaad started making his way forward from the 1000m marker using his stablemate Kinaan as a lead and into the straight he was powering up and visibly going better than most of his field.

At the 250m marker Khumalo enjoyed the luxury of a glance up at the big screen as the well-weighted Enaad was just too strong and went on to win in a time of 211,28 secs.

Helderberg Blue came out of the pack to chase for second, and finished 1,25 lengths adrift as he

S’manga Khumalo rode a perfectly judged race on Enaad shaded the 3yo Kinaan. Justin Snaith had a sadly blank day and would probably have been disappointed with the lack of spark shown by Ovidio, who was not disgraced when plodding into fourth. Sansui Summer Cup winner Master Sabina found his feet late to run fifth, and just held out Balance Sheet, who had no luck

AEPR of R158 979 & 56,6% Winners/Runners In a numbers game, they're still the only stats that really count!

Focus on Quality and Results *AEPR - Avg earnings per runner

in a scrappy race in the straight.

De Kock said that the soft track conditions did not suit some of his other runners. But the thirdplaced 3yo Kinaan looks a horse with plenty of scope to go on next season. Enaad has won 4 races with 8 places from his 18 starts for stakes of R1 325 600.

He was bred in Australia by

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum and is a son of illfated Coolmore shuttle stallion High Chaparral, a champion son of Sadler’s Wells. Enaad is out of the twice winning Danehill Dancer mare, Al Anood. Not a vintage season by De Kock’s high standards – but winning the Gold Cup will be a high point.

On a landmark end-of-season afternoon, the R600 000 Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes dished up a host of firsts as the Gimmethegreenlight gelding Gunner powered home to score a surprise win – for some, at least.

he 2yo feature marked a first Gr1 victory for Varsfontein’s blue-blooded first season sire Gimmethegreenlight, as well as the winner’s breeders Nadeson Park and former jockey-turned trainer, Paul Gadsby.

Super Sunday played host to a few shaky episodes at the starting stalls and this race was a case in point, with the oddson Zodiac Ruler going in first and standing for what seemed an eternity. Misty Birnam appeared to get caught up in the gates, while the rest seemed to have no urgency to load.

Ryder was the last to go in. Do we hold the trainers or the starters responsible? Is it time to launch an investigation into loading procedures and also to schooling standards applied by certain yards? The NHA should be monitoring the stats as there is a perception of repeat offenders. Zodiac Ruler was slightly slow off as the usually tardy starter Palladium swept into the lead in a notable change of tactics. The son of Silvano led for home with Gunner last as Zodiac Ruler came under a ride. At the 350m Palladium went out the back door as Africa Rising powered up the outside.

Africa Rising was quickly under pressure

though as Gunner came scything through the middle with Zodiac Ruler finally finding his best stride down the inside. In a run for the line, Strydom looked to have pulled off a miracle on Zodiac Ruler, but Brandon Lerena had other ideas as the 25-1 Gunner hit the front to win by a half length in a time of 99,53 secs. Misty Birnam maintained his consistency despite the trauma at the start, to run third, with Africa Rising stopping to hold on for fourth.

Palladium ran stone last and it is difficult to understand the change of tactics adopted by his rider. A good few of the winners on the afternoon

won from off the pace!

The winner had been beaten 1,75 lengths by Zodiac Ruler in the Gr1 Golden Horseshoe but enjoyed the extra 200m and looks a nice sort in the making. He has won 2 races with 2 places from 5 starts and took his stakes to R493 500.

He was Gimmethegreenlight’s 16th winner of a terrific opening season for the son of More Than Ready. Gunner was bred by Hassen Adams’ Nadeson Park and is out of the thrice winning Captain Al mare, Play Nice, who raced for Darryl Hodgson.

Gunner looks well bought at R200 000 on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1.

They will now be in major

demand and champion freshman sire Gimmethegreenlight has two lots on offer at this weekend’s CTS August TwoYear-Old Sale: Lot 43 – a half sister to a winner, this filly (intensely inbred to the great sire Halo), is from the family of high class fillies Princess Ofthe Sky, Love Is In The Air and her third dam, SA Oaks winner, Rootin’ Tootin’. This is also the family of current recent stakes winning filly O Tamara Lot 71 – another inbred to champion sire Halo, this colt (a half brother to 2 winners) is out of a half sister to champion and G1 winner Scarena and this is the family of Horse Of The Year Trini Lopez.

Gr2 GOLD BRACELET at Greyville last Sunday

Ice Maiden Bids Bruss G’Bye

I

It has been a long time between drinks for the Go Deputy filly Flying Ice. Throw in the curved ball of the R400 000 Gr2 Gold Bracelet being switched from the turf to the polytrack at the last moment and her outstanding win at Greyville on Sunday just looks all the more impressive.

t has been a terrific season for Lammerskraal’s anchor man Go Deputy and the Triple Crown winner producing son of Deputy Minister celebrated another impressive stakes winner in the form of the very capable Flying Ice. Often placed at feature level, Flying Ice had to be a serious contender and looked to be better than her form of a Listed win way back in June 2015.

She formed part of a three-way Neil Bruss coupling and will be fondly remembered as the seasoned horseman’s final winner.

After 44 years of training horses, Bruss is off to pursue a stint in Saudi Arabia and enjoyed

a great weekend – training the final winner of the Cape season just 24 hours earlier.

Relaxed some eight lengths off the pace, the 9-1 Flying Ice was produced through a gap by the bang in-form Anthony Delpech and she stretched clear to hold the much vaunted favourite Nightingale to 2,75 lengths.

The winner’s time was 123,35 secs.

Nightingale held off the winner’s consistent stablemate Deputy Ryder by 0,75 lengths, with Patchit Up Baby making up plenty of ground from way back to grab fourth. Ian Sturgeon replaced Piere Strydom on the smart Olma, who had looked dangerous turning for home.

The daughter of Dynasty hit a brick wall

to run a disappointing race.

Flying Ice made it 3 wins with 6 places from 12 starts and took her stakes to R605 625.

She was a R125 000 BSA National Yearling Sale R125 000 purchase.

Gr1 THEKWINI STAKES at Greyville last Sunday

T

Trainer Mike Azzie and his top owners Adriaan and Rika Van Vuuren have enjoyed something of a rollercoaster season. But on the premise that all’s well that ends well, things are looking up as they celebrated a terrific Gr1 success with the lovely Querari Falcon skating home to win the R600 000 Thekwini Stakes at Greyville on Sunday. he occasion, just three months after the team’s sensational SA Triple Crown success with Abashiri, also marked a well deserved Gr1 icebreaker for Maine Chance Farm’s promising second crop sire Querari.

The Gr1 winning son of Oasis

Dream has proven to be a quality producer, with a commendable stakes performer strike rate that sees his progeny in high demand.

Querari Falcon looks to be very promising and accounted for the Golden Slipper runner-up and pre-race favourite Dawn Calling with ease.

The comments from winning rider Anthony

Delpech are worth noting.

“Querari Falcon has been working well at home and I knew that we could beat them today. I said to Mr Azzie I’d like to ride her confident. I gave her a chance, she’s still learning but she’s very talented. She has her first Grade 1 race now and she has a bright future!”

The astute Azzie used stablemate Oasis Queen to make the pace a true run affair as she was tracked by Dawn Calling, with Querari Falcon in midfield and five lengths

adrift. Into the straight, Dawn Calling moved forward dangerously but appeared to shift around under pressure as Querari Falcon unwound down the outside.

Into the 200m, Querari Falcon was at full gallop and she drew away to win by a length in a time of 98,42 secs.

Dawn Attack showed solid resolve to cling on for second ahead of a flying Sail, with the momentarily dangerous Safe Harbour one-paced in fourth.

The lovely Querari Falcon was purchased for a bargain

R90 000 by Adriaan Van Vuuren off the 2015 CTS August Two-Year-Old Sale in Cape Town.

She is out of the one-time winning Crimson Waves mare, Pretty Waves and was bred by the late Ben Botha, son Arne Botha and family.

Querari Falcon has won 2 of her 3 starts with 1 place and took her stakes to R452 000.

For the Azzman, the win rounded off a positive season and fifth placed finish on the national log with gross stakes of R13 859 812.

Gr2 THE DEBUTANTE at Greyville last Sunday

Way To Go!

Ian Sturgeon gets A Womens Way to rally to hold Arissa (Callan Murray) on the outside

Avontuur strike with a daughter of Var A thrilling head-to-head finish got the rain-delayed Super Sunday feature programme under way at Greyville on the final day of the South African horseracing season. Ian Sturgeon was at his best to get the Avontuur-bred Var filly A Womens Way home by a nose to win the R300 000 Gr2 The Debutante.

A

n interrupted prep after losing a scheduled build-up run due to playing up at the start was not enough to stop trainer Duncan Howells’ magnificent filly from overcoming a wide draw at her first Greyville start – and to register some paddock-boosting black type in the process. Shizam scooted off early to lead the charge with the very capable Sturgeon dropping A Womens Way in from her wide draw and some five lengths off the gallop.

Into the home run the fancied The Merry Widow had her path closed with those on the middle -outside finishing best.

Replacement rider Callan Murray looked to have timed it right on Arissa as the Gauteng visitor stormed into the lead, but A Womens Way was always lifting and she lengthened impressively. In a drive to the wire, A Womens Way came right back at the gallant Arissa and got her nose down to win by a short head in a time of 72,91 secs.

She started at 14-1 to give the hometown boys a great start. Debut winner La Revere came on powerfully from some way off for third, a neck in front of the favourite The Merry Widow, who had no luck in running.

The Sean Tarry-trained Water Lily Lake was slow off and caught the eye when running on

late and only tiring in the final grind to run sixth and 4,45 lengths off.

Winning Form-sponsored trainer Duncan Howells confirmed that A Womens Way had played up in the gates at her scheduled night meeting start.

“She is a filly with a mind of

her own. I thought she would fight on when that horse came to challenge her and this was a win full of merit,” he said. A Womens Way is unbeaten in two starts and took her stakes earnings to R237 500. A R500 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 purchase, she was bred by

Avontuur and is a daughter of the perennial bright star Var – and is the first foal of the Gr3 winning Windrush mare, A Daughters Legacy, who won up to 2000m in her racing days with Riaan Van Reenen in the Cape. Pencil the name in – the good-looking lady looks likely to stay on in time!

Hack Green wins easily under Sean Veale

Gr2 UMKHOMAZI STAKES at Greyville last Sunday

Dennis Drier’s Hack Green storms home

W

Super Sunday proved to be the cherry on top of a cracking season for Varsfontein’s newly crowned SA champion freshman sire, Gimmethegreenlight. His son Hack Green got the ball rolling when he spreadeagled his field to win the R300 000 Gr2 Umkhomazi Stakes in dazzling style.

hile there was more to come for the Australianbred stallion later on, the Dennis Drier-trained Hack Green will go into the record books as Gimmethegreenlight’s first stakes winner – and what an impressive showing this was.

“I know there are a lot of 2yo’s who are yet to run but I thought we have a bit of a star on our hands and I would have been disappointed if he had not delivered today,” said the astute Mr Drier after Sean Veale had ridden a straightforward race.

With three pacy fillies in the ten horse field, the pace was always going to be on from the 1200m start and Veale was content to settle the debut winning colt near the back from his wide draw as Queen Laurie led British Royale for home.

The leaders came under pressure in the sticky going early in the straight and the standout was Hack Green who was going great guns down the middle.

At the 200m marker the result was in the frame as the usually animated Veal sat still with Hack Green full of running. He went on to win by 3 lengths in a time of 72,20 secs.

The previously undefeated Joburg raider Wrecking Ball – labelled top class by her trainer Grant Maroun – ran a good race to come out best of the rest, with the winner’s stablemate Rocky Valley passing tiring runners to grab third a further length back.

The tote favourite Seattle Singer finished a disappointing fourth, while Sean Tarry’s Flying Myth was tailed off last in a puzzling run.

Trainer Dennis Drier said that ‘today was our day’ and that he couldn’t have wished for a better outcome.

Jockey Sean Veale, who was aboard at Hack Green’s debut win, confirmed that they had always rated him.

“I thought he may need his first run as he is a big horse, but he was good enough to win,” he said. Part owner Hassen Adams, who raced Gimmethegreenlight and is a major shareholder in the stallion, said that it was a ‘great day’ for him.

“At the sale he was the spitting image of his Dad,” he said.

Hack Green was signed for by David Abery at R950 000 on the 2015 Val De Vie Yearling Sale.

Hack Green, who has won two from two, took his stakes to R237 000, excluding the BSA Added Value Stakes incentive of R102 500.

The winner is the result of an astute mating.

His sire, a Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner, is a son of More Than Ready and has pedigree similarities with two of Australia’s top sires –Sebring and Redoute’s Choice.

Hack Green’s dam Secret Mission (by Fort Wood) is a full sister to Secret Heart, dam of Pluck – also by More Than Ready.

A present day stallion in Australia, Pluck won the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile for Team Valor and his first crop are now 3yo’s.

Gr3 CHAMPAGNE STAKES at Kenilworth last Saturday

Flags at half mast as a mark of respect for late Christopher Puller

T

The super consistent Kildonan filly Beach Goddess ended the Cape season on a high for her title chasing breeders Klawervlei Stud when she produced a storming run to win the R250 000 Gr3 Champagne Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

he bright winter sunshine that drenched the Southern Suburbs track was in stark contrast to the sombre mood that prevailed, with the Racing It’s a Rush flags flying at half mast – and the jockeys wearing black armbands in the opening event as a mark of respect for their popular colleague Christopher Puller, who passed away tragically during the week.

The Gr3 Champagne Stakes saw a quality field of ten fillies line up to do battle over the straight 1200m and the track looked to have stood up well to the 62mm of rain that had fallen over the previous week.

With the going posted as soft and an average pen reading of 28, punters came for the speedy 3yo Victoria Lavelle, who went off an 18-10 fancy, and looked nicely in to end her season on a high.

Replacement rider Grant Van Niekerk had the daughter of Captain Al out in a flash and she led from Neala and Acaciawood.

Into the final 350m Victoria Lavelle shortened her stride as the hard work on the soft ground took its toll, and Corne Orffer brought the year older Beach Goddess through with an explosive run down the middle.

Looking like she would go away to win well, Beach Goddess came under fire as substitute Robert Khathi got Come Fly With Me to

chase and the Mike Bass-trained daughter of Jet Master was just 0,25 lengths short of giving the veteran what would have been a lovely Cape send-off.

Beach Goddess, who was easy to back at 7-1, won in a time of 74,77 secs.

Acaciawood outdid her more fancied stable companion to run into third, with Double Whammy running a much brighter race after a quiet spell to secure fourth.

Victoria Lavelle had nothing to come late and ran a half length behind Double Whammy to finish out of the quartet.

The lightly raced Beach Goddess started her track career with Dean Kannemeyer, who saddled her to win two of her first three starts.

Brett Crawford had her in peak fettle on Saturday to produce a well-deserved first stakes victory. She has now won 3 races with 4 places from her 7 starts and took her earnings to R304 225.

Beach Goddess is a daughter of former Wilgerbosdrift, and present day Yellow Star Stud, stallion Kildonan out of the onetime winning Giant’s Causeway mare, Rock Goddess.

Kildonan was trained by Mike de Kock and crowned Equus Champion Sprinter. He won 5 races, peaking in the Gr3 Graham Beck Stakes.

The speedy son of ill-fated stallion Rich Man’s Gold stands for a fee of R5000.

An Epic Dilemma

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 5th - SUNDAY 7th AUGUST 2016

13

Growing the client base will be a long term exercise

T

The situation in local racing is not unlike the dilemma which is faced by the monetary policy committee of the SA Reserve Bank, writes Leon Smuts.

he MPC effectively has two mandates, a primary one which is inflation targeting and maintaining inflation at predetermined optimum levels, and a secondary mandate which is to support economic activity where possible. The first is the dominant driver as can be seen from continuous hikes despite a painful period where the local economy is already struggling and in need of support.

The primary mandate will always determine decisions but leaves room for secondary intervention when suitable conditions allow.

mandate is to manage the company to be profitable and provide positive returns to shareholders, and a secondary mandate which is to at least maintain and where possible expand racing.

They are fulfilling the primary mandate with decent results in difficult times, and are arguably also doing a reasonable job of the secondary mandate given the numerous challenges facing the racing industry, locally and globally.

So we may well ask why it is that the operator is getting so much criticism, from so

many quarters, when it has actually managed to look after racing with some distinction despite a difficult caretaker role.

The main cause in my opinion is that the racing industry and the operator have mandates that are not aligned and drifting ever further apart.

We see complaints from owners, breeders and punters on a regular basis, and see an operator that rightly or wrongly, on the surface, seem to be oblivious to any criticism aimed at them.

Is it a case of an operator simply not caring, or are they just being true to their primary mandate?

This is debateable, but rather than bickering it is perhaps time for the operator and all industry stake holders to work together on a growth strategy specifically for racing, that will intentionally benefit the industry, but in time have many spin off benefits for the operator as well.

With the listed Phumelela, our major operator locally, we see a very similar situation where the primary

It is clear that there is a problem, and that discontent and disillusionment is growing and that the situation requires an aligned strategy and common goals to restore good order.

Right now trust looks like it is a big issue and any project with proceeds directly aimed at benefitting racing will go a long way to restore confidence in the operator and the process of returning racing to a prominent economic contributor.

almost opposing mandates (the need to increase profits versus more money for racing), but shared potential longer term benefits, working together on independent projects should become be a serious consideration.

Although many people feel that racing is dying this will not happen as long there are rich owners willing to spend big money on pitting horses against each other, but it could cease as a viable economic activity if smaller owners and punters totally quit the sport.

As any benefit from a traditional investment in the marketing of racing seems to be a waste of time and money, the operator cannot be blamed for an unwillingness to push its local racing interest.

It will then become a purely elitist pastime and will probably lose its appeal as a serious betting activity and a source of economic profit.

Without public interest and big sponsors the glamour of racing and the prestige of winning will be dealt a severe blow and might even result in big owners losing their appetite for involvement.

Breeding operations will become almost exclusively owner/breeder driven under this scenario which is bound to have a long term detrimental effect on the quality and quantity of racing stock.

The bottom line is that the sport needs its smaller owners and players, just a whole lot more of them.

It is in nobody’s interest if the above scenario ever became a reality and it is definitely in the interest of the racing industry and our country for the operator to be successful and to receive growing economic returns from the sport. Given the

It is for the industry to prove economic viability and future relevance before the operator will get serious about expanding its racing presence and allocating a bigger portion of spending to this area of its business.

Does this mean that the operator has no obligation to the sport?

I think it might not have explicitly but in my estimate has an implicit obligation as its current expansion and profits from diversified activities would not have been possible without the assets and balance sheet provided by the racing business.

In the long run a healthy racing contribution will have an extremely positive impact on overall performance, as opposed to an operation that cause a continuous drag on company performance if nothing is done to turn the slide around, especially if exiting totally appears to not be an option at this point.

The escalating blame game is extremely negative for the image of the industry and public perceptions which is harmful to any turnaround strategy and hope of recovery.

An investment in capacity building will be money well spent and would not require vast sums of capital to achieve if objectives are properly defined and funded from multiple stakeholders, rather than an expectation that it is the operators responsibility, and theirs alone.

For racing to recover, the task of promoting racing cannot be left solely to the operator, as they have valid reasons for not being overly excited about this function even though they would ultimately benefit from the exercise.

It simply does not serve their short term and primary mandate, which is to improve company profitability, as growing the client base will be a long term exercise.

By contrast it should be all about the long term for the industry which is why this function cannot be left unattended.

If new projects are used to fund racing exclusively in the form of supplementary stakes and other needy racing causes it will be a huge positive for the sport and its future and should receive buy in from all stakeholders and passionate racing supporters.

If separate customised projects are not introduced, I cannot see racing ever regaining prominence again, given budget constraints and limited appetite by betting operators in this space over alternative forms of investment.

Unless future mandates include areas of common ground and a willingness to work together, this will continue to be an epic dilemma.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 5th - SUNDAY 7th AUGUST 2016

T

The Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association (TBA) has announced that it will be entering into a joint venture agreement with Equine Group and Michael Holmes Bloodstock to outsource the running of Bloodstock SA.

he details of the plan were shared with members at the Cape Breeders Club AGM on Thursday, 28 July 2016 and to KZN Breeders on Friday, 29 July. Karoo breeders will be formally addressed at a meeting on Thursday 4 August.

Motivation

Explaining the motivation for the new initiative TBA Chairlady Susan Rowett said there had been a number of factors influencing the decision, but that it was primarily due to the poor overall state of the market.

“Too many horses on too many sales in a poor economy with political uncertainty is bad for breeders and sales companies alike, as has been evidenced by tumbling median prices seen at recent sales.”

BSA staff salaries and management of the sales ground form a large part of

the TBA’s operational costs and a large proportion of these resources are underutilized for parts of the year. Seeking a Joint Venture solution was driven by the need to implement cost efficiencies and Michael Holmes and the Equine Group were selected as partners for their proven sales experience as well as their administrative and managerial capabilities. The Joint Venture structure will also give the new organisation a more independent structure.

Mrs Rowett explained, “When the Boards of sales companies consist of breeders and in some cases the ownership of sales companies also lies in the hands of breeders, that puts them in direct commercial competition with their clients.

Under such conditions, there will be always be the suspicion – rightly or wrongly – of vested interests and conflicts of interest and we feel the proposed changes will go a long way towards addressing these issues.”

CTS August 2yo Sale

Proof Is In The Eating!

This coming Saturday’s CTS August 2yo Sale at Durbanville received a timeous boost following the Super Sunday season climax at Greyville.

GRADUATES of various Cape Thoroughbred Sales (CTS) auctions performed with distinction at the Champions Cup race meeting that drew the curtain on the 2015/16 season.

Gr1 Domination Runners bought at CTS Sales won two of the three Grade 1 races and a Grade 2 contest on a programme of seven Graded events staged on the well-supported “Super Sunday” at the Durban track.

2015 CTS purchases Querari Falcon (Thekwini Stakes) and Gunner (Premiers Champion Stakes) highlighted the afternoon winning the pair of Grade 1’s for two-year-old fillies and colts, respectively.

Prominent owner Adriaan van Vuuren paid only R90,000 for Querari Falcon at the first CTS Two-Year-Old Sale, held in August 2015. She is the first Gr 1 winner from a proud new sale, also the first Gr1 winner produced by the promising Oasis Dream stallion Querari (GER), who stands at Main Chance Farms. Trained by Mike Azzie, Querari Falcon was bred by the late Ben Botha, son Arne Botha and family from their Crimson Waves mare, Pretty Waves. “She has a bright future,” said jockey Anthony Delpech. Gunner was another shrewd purchase, snapped up for only R200,000 at the Cape Premier Yearling Sale. Trainer Paul Gadsby loved Gunner as a specimen and a put the partnership of owners together, with breeder Hassen Adams keeping a share in the colt by Champion Freshman Sire Gimmethgreenlight, who stands at Varsfontein Stud. “I have bought more horses by Gimmethegreenlight,” told an excited Gadsby. “I think I’m in the right camp.”

On Show Zodiac Ruler and Africa Rising (both sold at the CTS Ready To Run Sale, 2015), finished second and fourth respectively behind Gunnar in the Premiers. The CTS show started early when 2015 Cape Premier Yearling Sale buys A Womans Way (VAR) and Arissa (Silvano) fought out the finish of the Gr2 Debutante Stakes over 1200m with victory going to the Duncan Howells-trained A Womans Way, bred by Avontuur Stud and bought for R500,000.

Arissa, a R300,000 buy, was gallant in defeat and looks set to recoup her own purchase price in the near future. Six-year-old gelding Helderberg Blue represented the 2012 CTS Premier Sale in the Gr2 Gold Cup. He ran a game race under 59,5kg, beaten into second by the improving Australian four-year-old, Enaad, who received 6kg from the Mike Bass runner.

Read about each lot on www.sportingpost.co.za – search for ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Dreaming’ *The CTS August Two-Year-Old Sale takes place at Durbanville Racecourse this Saturday, 6 August, starting at 6pm. Pre-sale drinks will be served from 4pm.

Implementation

Equine Group and Michael Holmes ran the recent Sibaya KZN Yearling Sale as well as the KZN Mare/Weanling/ HIT/Fillies Sale and have been appointed to manage the National 2yo sale in August.

The Joint Venture will see the TBA’s sales arm continue to operate under the Bloodstock SA Brand. All sales will continue to be held under the BSA banner and all future Michael Holmes sales will also be run under the same umbrella. However, these will be run under an independent Bloodstock SA Board. The new board will comprise

five members, including Michael Holmes as CEO, Gary Grant and Chris Haynes from Equine Group and two Breeder Representatives to be nominated by the TBA Council. Susan explains, “This will be a sales board, not a TBA sub-committee, so we would like it not to have TBA Council members on it. However, the two breeder members will be appointed by TBA Council to lend some continuity and stability.” The TBA Sales Ground will be leased to the ‘new’ Bloodstock SA on a full maintenance lease, including all staff costs related to the sales yard. “They will be renting the complex, and will be doing so on fully commercial footing, so will be able to rent it out for other events and earnings will accrue to the TBA,” adds Susan. “Michael is in the event

business and hopes to utilise the facilities more fully, so if other sales companies wish to make use of them, all well and good.”

The arrangement will be based on a 5 year contract, with terms to ensure the safeguarding of the TBA’s interests, including key performance indicators.

If these are not met for any reason, “we can always go back to running sales ourselves again.” Susan confirms that the news was well received

by TBA Members at last week’s meetings “One of the questions put forward was why it was not put out to tender.

The answer is that we are not sub-contracting, it is a joint venture arrangement and as such we selected what we felt were suitable partners.”

“We feel this step will make BSA a truly independent sales operation. It is a reality

that breeders compete with each other in selling horses and handing the operational responsibility to a third party removes any possible conflicts of interest.”

TBA Council

The TBA Council will remain, but will now be free to devote more time to Breed Affairs. Susan adds, “So often the Breed Affairs function was a combined job.

Hopefully the cost efficiencies that will be made on the sales side will allow us to employ a full time person to manage the Breed Affairs function in a dedicated capacity.”

Full details are expected to be finalised in August with the new agreement to take effect at the end of October 2016.

The Apache - exciting son of Mogok

The Warrior Comes Home Scott Bros’ multiple local and international Gr1 winner has returned to his place of birth to continue his career at stud.

T

he Apache was awarded the Equus Champion 3YO Colt title in 2011 after his top class Graded Stakes wins in South Africa prior to leaving on his international campaign.

The outstanding racing son of Mogok was the pride of South Africa when he crossed the line first in the Gr1 Arlington Million in the USA for trainer Mike De Kock, only to have the race result changed after interference. The Apache is a culmination of the Scott Bros’ dynasty of stallions and mares carefully mated for over four generations, he has certainly reflected his breeders and his champion lineage with his outstanding achievements.

Out of Apache Rose by Dolpour, he carries a strong Highdown Pedigree that began when Robin Scott purchased his fourth dam Lenore, one of the foundation mares of the great Scott Bros nursery.

Amongst others, Lenore produced Leta, a Gr1 winner of the Fillies Guineas and the Cape Flying Championship. She was mated to Kimberley Kid, a stallion that was a gift to the Scott’s from Bridget Oppenheimer and a son of Wilwyn.

That mating produced Yasmini, who was mated to another of the Scott Bros’ multiple Champion sire Jungle Cove – to produce the brilliant Gr1 winner, Bold West and Gr2 winner Jungle Class.

Yasmini also produced a winner in the USA by Plum Bold named Bold East, a horse that also finished second in the Gr2 Green Point Stakes. In turn Gr1 Gilbey’s (and 9-time winner) Bold West was mated to Dolpour, a son of Sadler’s Wells brought into Highdown Stud as a shuttle sire.

The product was 4-time winner Apache Rose – herself a full sister to the multiple Stakes Placed Sugar Magnolia.

She very sadly passed away in foal to Mogok a few years ago and produced five winners from seven foals. The Scott Bros have retained The Apache’s full sister, Bold Pocahontas, for stud duties.

What has to be one of the TBA National 2YO Sales’ most prominent graduates, passionate and prominent Hong Kong owner Winston Chow purchased The Apache from Scott Bros for just R80 000 in 2009.

Winston Chow posted on his personal facebook page under a picture of a quality athletic plain dark bay colt in October 2010: “2007 Mogok, The Apache… only 80k but possibly group class, let’s see! Very good temperament! I like him a lot.” What prophetic words they proved to be.

Sent into training with Gavin Van Zyl, The Apache’s first start saw him finish six lengths off in fourth position on debut at Clairwood over 1450m.

His second start at Greyville saw him finish second to the brilliant English Garden, just a neck off over 1600m. The Apache then won his next two starts at Clairwood over 1600m and 1700m, each in dominating fashion by an average of three lengths.

His first Graded Stakes debut saw him finish five lengths unplaced behind Kavanagh in a Gr3 over 1400m, but proved himself by winning the Gr2 Dingaans from Galileo’s Destiny by over a length.

It was the start of a glittering high class race career

The Apache in action

– which saw him beat the best – including winning the Gr1 Champions Cup and Gr1 Daily News 2000.

His run in the Durban July saw him finish just two lengths off the brilliant Igugu, to place fourth in Africa’s most exclusive race. In total he won seven times and placed 11 – amongst them locally the London News and Victory Moon Stakes.

Half of his ownership was sold to Sheik Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum and he was to sent into the care of top SA trainer Mike De Kock, for an overseas campaign. After enduring the arduous travel regimen for South African horses to Dubai via Mauritius, The Apache set the Dubai Carnival alight by winning the Gr2 Al Rashidiya Stakes and placing second in the Gr1 Jebel Hatta and Gr1 Dubai Duty Free.

De Kock then decided to send the Mogok colt to England for a run prior to his American trip, and he finished fourth in the Gr2 York Stakes.

It was onto the Gr1 Arlington Million, and while The Apache put in a sensational run to cross the finish line a little over a length in front, the race was taken away very disappointingly over interference, in the process he defeated a number of international Gr1 winners. The pair raced neck and neck down the straight The Apache winning by the narrowest of margins and was declared the unofficial winner but lost the race on an objection.”

Reflecting on his tremendous effort De Kock continued: “I think he had a lot of quality horses behind him very good European horses and very good American horses.”He’s the South African pride. He ran huge” De Kock continued on the international campaign for The Apache: “He’s gone from South Africa to Mauritius to Dubai to England, and to America in 12 months. You can’t do that with many horses but South African horses tend to deal with it.”

The Apache was retired and sent back to South Africa, having earned over R17 million in stakes – not too shabby for an R80 000 purchase.

The Apache won or placed in ten Group/Graded races in four different countries.

Among the top horses beaten by The Apache during his globe-trotting campaign were international Group/Grade 1 winners Aesop’s Fables (Prix Jean Prat), Giofra (Falmouth Stakes), Hunter’s Light (Jebel Hatta), Little Mike (Breeders Cup Turf), Ocean Park (Cox Plate), Side Glance (VRC Mackinnon Stakes), Trade Storm (Woodbine Mile) and Wigmore Hall (Northern Dancer Turf S-twice).

Local racing stars beaten by The Apache included the Gr1 winners Big City Life, Bravura, Buy And Sell, Dancewiththedevil, Emerald Cove, English Garden, Flirtation, Gold Onyx, Happy Landing, Igugu, Link Man, Regal Ransom, Seal and Solo Traveller.

He also gave his sire Mogok the accolade of producing another international Group 1 winner, when his brilliant daughter Gypsy’s Warning won the Gr1 Matriarch Stakes, Mogok is also the sire of Gr1 winners’ Orbison and Wild One. The Apache began his stud career at Rosedene Stud where he covered 40 mares in his first season.

This will be his third season standing at stud and his pedigree should suit most mares, in particular Bold Ruler, Danehill and Zabeel.

Mr Winston Chow is offering free services to proven mares or top families in the country, and those with Bold Ruler, Danehill, Zabeel and Wilwyn.

After almost 50 years of leading breeding and racing successes with the likes of Politician, Devon Air and many other Graded Stakes winning champions in the famous black, red and white colours – the Scott Bros’ have consistently been in the Top 10 breeders of South Africa, and continue an outstanding legacy to have bred two Gr1 winners this past season – the first being Wild One by Mogok in the 2015 Gr1 Gold Cup, and the second being Talktothestars in the Gr1 Tsogo Sun Sprint. The Apache will stand alongside his sire Mogok, Miesque’s Approval, Crusade and Eightfold Path. His service fee is R6 000 (R1000 nomination and R5000 live foal).

From Champion Jockey to Felix Coetzee. World class jockey, relentless competitor, supreme professional. If one grew up in the Millard era, it’s hard not to be a little in awe of the name.

at a time, but they ended up giving me 2 extra stints as well as sending me to New Zealand to work with two of their kids there. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Working for the Cape Turf Club, my dad occasionally brought home posters of the great horses of the day to go on my wall and a good number had Felix in the saddle.

Kei Chiong started the season as a 10lb claimer and ended up winning the local jockeys’ title, receiving the newly inaugurated Tony Cruz award as well as finishing 6th on the overall log – an incredible achievement.

A

fter a successful 16 year stint in Hong Kong, Felix returned to South Africa in late 2008 and as he seems to do with most things, he hit the ground running.

A quick glance at his riding engagements is testament to his ferocious work ethic, travelling to all four corners of the country in search of winners and riding as hard at the bread and butter meetings as he did on the feature days.

In fact, it is thanks to that very trait that I had the privilege of booking him for my little filly. It is one thing to have pictures of someone on your wall, entirely another having them stride into the parade ring in your silks. I was half excited, half panicked by my horse’s modest abilities and not at all sure what to say, but I needn’t have worried.

I wanted to be busy, flying here and there and tending to lots of things and I’ve got it. I’m really blessed

Ever the professional, Felix was polite and business-like – in short, the same as he would be with any other owner ahead of any other race. I was quietly impressed and thrilled when they finished in the placings. Felix delivered considered feedback and even thanked me for the ride.

Felix was attached to the Snaith yard at the time and associated with the mighty Ebony Flyer, so I had the opportunity to observe him in a professional capacity and remember watching him at grass gallops at Kenilworth one mid-week morning.

On our way out, we passed Felix making his way to the car park, suitcase in tow, on his way to the airport for the day’s engagements.

Energy His sheer energy is aweinspiring. In fact, in all my dealings with him, the first time I ever saw him sit still was in 2013, and that was only because he was recovering from his hip op and kindly agreed to chat to me about his July wins.

Like most jockeys his recall of horses and races is incredible and it was a

fascinating and thoroughly entertaining afternoon, but again I was struck by his intense focus and attention to detail and his endless patience in getting things exactly right.

The hip would prove to be his nemesis and despite throwing the kitchen sink at it, he retired from the saddle in February 2014. However, it wasn’t long before Felix was on to the next phase of his career: mentoring apprentices at the SA Jockey Academy.

Kei Chiong started the season as a 10lb claimer and ended up winning the local jockeys’ title The teaching struck a chord and he was subsequently engaged to mentor apprentices for the Hong Kong Jockey Club, including current sensation, Kei Chiong. Back home, Felix has also helped S’manga Khumalo achieve his second jockey championship.

I caught up with Felix – by phone, as he was travelling the country pursuing his other passion - starting young horses – to find out more.

“I’m here for a month, home for 4 days and then I fly back to Hong Kong for two months for the start of their season. I’m lucky to be in a very fortunate position where I can alternate my mentoring with starting young horses.

There’s not a lot I’d rather be doing. It’s funny,” he reflects, “When you think of what you wanted as a kid, this was always in my mind. I wanted to be busy, flying here and there and tending to lots of things and I’ve got it. I’m really blessed.”

Hong Kong The Hong Kong Jockey Club asked Felix to work with their apprentices on a consultancy basis.

He explains, “I was originally due to go over three times for 10 days

Kei Chiong “I must make a special mention of Craig Benton who is the riding instructor.

He was so good to work with and gave me a lot of free rein with Kei. The competition in Hong Kong is unbelievably strong and there were a lot of people saying it was going to be very difficult, but I could see there was something special about her. She’s a very hard worker and very dedicated to her profession.

“Being a 10lb claimer, people want you to go to the front, sit up handy and use your claim, so I wanted to get her very fast out of the gates, get her using her judgement in the race, getting a feel for pace and riding a strong finish. I also wanted accuracy in the straight and we worked on the last 400m to make sure she hit the line strong. She’s great to work with – you ask her for something and she does it.

“Even after long periods on the equicizer I’d say I want more and she’d dig in and give it to me. You don’t always get that. That she finished 6th overall is amazing. Being a girl, she was up against it all the time and she had to be impressive, but she’s done it. She even won the most popular jockey award over Joao Moreira. Now that’s really something.”

“As the claim gets lower, everybody’s perception will be ‘now we’ll see’ and things can change very quickly so we’ve still got plenty of work to do. When Tony presented her the Tony Cruz award, he commented that he’d seen her riding a lot from the front, but not from the back.

“She’s got to be ready for losing her 7lb claim and also for when she’s got to start dropping horses out. I’m trying all the time to keep her ahead of what’s coming next – that’s the way I’ve tried to train her.”

S’manga Felix has also been part of ‘Team S’manga’ for his 2015/16 campaign. “What’s been fun for me is that I started with him at the beginning of last season. I was looking

Champion Coach after Sean Tarry’s Cape string and one morning Sean asked whether I’d be interested in doing a mentorship with S’manga. I jumped at it.”

“I don’t deal with him too much on his race riding – we started after he’d already won a championship, so he’s pretty set in his ways, but there were a few points I really was emphatic about and I think today he rides with a lot more confidence and finds himself with a lot more horse coming into the final 400.”

“When we discussed the championship at the beginning of the season, S’manga said he wanted to go for it, so that’s been our goal. I said I wanted him firing, travelling everywhere and being relentless. So often you hear the leading jockeys say ‘I’ll wait until the last few months and if I’m in the firing line, I’ll go for the championship.’ I don’t like that. In my opinion, you throw your hat in the ring and say you’re going for it and you do it.

“People will say ‘but he’s travelled all over and he’s had so many more rides, but you know what? There are a lot of guys who don’t have the energy and the desire to take those rides, to get up early, to travel every day and to keep it up consistently. This is a guy who decided he was going to do whatever it takes, he was prepared to do it and he pulled it off. To me that’s what a champion is all about.

I asked him to be relentless and he has been. I admire that.”

This is a guy who decided he was going to do whatever it takes, he was prepared to do it and he pulled it off. To me that’s what a champion is all about If one judges praise from where it comes, then that’s no small compliment.

Strategy “One of the lessons we learnt was watching Gavin Lerena give it a hard push at the end of the season, which just gave him the edge.

While we were chasing the championship right from the outset, S’manga’s sponsors wanted to make sure that we paced it so he would have enough energy left for the last 2 months, so we didn’t go to mid-week meetings in Cape Town and Durban in

the early stages. By the time we got to the Durban season he was already in a strong position and it just took a few winners in Durban to make him impossible to catch.”

“S’manga had a 2 week suspension at the beginning of the season, so he started off behind. I just got him to stick to his guns and keep his head down and after a couple of months, he started narrowing the gap. Then Andrew Fortune had his injury and a few more months down the line, S’manga was well clear.

It’s amazing how the numbers can change.

“Last season he beat the number winners that won him his first championship and this season he’s beaten last season’s total. That for me has been fun.”

“Sure, there have been some challenging times, but this season in particular I’ve seen him ride with a lot of confidence – perhaps even a little too much at times.

But we all make mistakes and hopefully he’ll come out better, stronger and wiser for it.”

Mentoring Unlike most other sporting disciplines where regular coaching is the norm, it’s interesting that racing functions differently.

So how does one coach a jockey?

“I haven’t been doing it for very long, but you gain confidence as you go along.

I spent some time with James Maree to see what he does and what he looks for. I learnt a lot and it also helped me gain confidence that I am working along the right lines.

I like to give riding specific exercises and I believe what’s helped me is a combination of my experience, a lot of conversations with Douglas Whyte, dieticians, fitness trainers and so on.

“Having been to a sports psychologist also really helped me with the mental side of it and it’s taught me how to convey the message better. Also having worked at breaking in horses it’s incredible how much I’ve learnt from the horses themselves.”

What it takes So what does it take to be a champion jockey?

“In my opinion it’s pretty simple really: get the basics right and you’re on your bike.

“We often overthink and try and complicate things, when all you need to do is focus on the basics. And then it’s just a case of committing and sticking to it.”

Go Gavin We wish outgoing SA champion jockey Gavin Lerena well for this weekend. Lerena will be off to the UK to ride in the Shergar Cup at Ascot and is a member of the Rest Of The World team. Britain’s Champion Jockey of 2015, Silvestre de Sousa, who was born in Brazil, will captain the team. The third member is Japan Cup-winning jockey Kenichi Ikezoe.

Gingerly – Definitely!

The sixth at Louisiana Downs on Saturday was an interesting race. The rider of Crossbow Huntress either thought there was another lap to go or it was one of the ‘quietest’ rides we will ever see. Jockey Kevin Smith’s mount did not appear to be hanging, or in any distress whatsoever, so his decision to treat the final 200m of the race as a practice gallop was questionable at best. Crossbow Hunter was sitting three-wide in third position turning for home in the 1000m sprint. She appeared to be travelling far more comfortably than the leading pair but Smith refused to shake the reins.

He cruised to the line in first gear, making ground on the winner but never seriously threatening. The commentator seemed somewhat bewildered as the eight runners passed the winning post, declaring “Crossbow Huntress was gingerly handled in the final 200m but still finished strongly to be second. “Gingerly handled” is surely the most polite way of describing what looked like one of the more blatant pull-up jobs in recent times.

MOODY EMPLOYED

Former Australian champion trainer Peter Moody will be a regular face at race meetings in coming months. Moody closed his stable in March after being handed a six-month suspension for an elevated cobalt level found in one of his horses. Rosemont Stud announced Moody as their racing manager while long-time stable client, Wylie Dalziel Roy Higgins Racing, said he had been appointed as its bloodstock advisor. Along with those two roles, which begin next month, Moody is also an ambassador for global wagering company Ladbrokes. In a press release on Monday, Dalziel said Moody’s involvement would add another dimension to the business.”He will assist me and my team of champion trainers to identify and select yearlings in the years to come and in all bloodstock management of our horse stock and our outstanding 2015 crop of yearlings,” Dalziel said.”This exclusive arrangement with Peter Moody in selecting yearlings with me for Wylie Dalziel Roy Higgins Racing will continue giving all new and current owners access to affordable and well-bred yearlings.” Moody’s suspension, which banned him from training but not from working within the racing industry, finishes on September 24.

Looking DUKE’S BIG For 3000 ORANGE

Frankie Dettori is a matter of a few winners short of his 3000th British winner after the threetime British Champion Jockey registered his first success of the 2016 Qatar Goodwood Festival aboard the Richard Hannon-trained Mehmas in the Group Two Qatar Richmond Stakes in the second race on day three of the meeting. An early declared ambition for this year was getting to 3000 winners in Britain. He has already passed that figure in winners partnered all around the world but that appears not to matter quite so much. He will join such luminaries as Sir Gordon Richards, Pat Eddery, Lester Piggott, Willie Carson, Doug Smith.

A Blaze Of Modesty

The resurgent Zimbabwe champion Andrew Fortune is reported to be determined to go all out to win the championship he previously landed eight seasons ago – even though he parried questions on this at Kenilworth on Saturday with typical joking quick-fire repartee.

“I’m coloured and when they start paying coloureds more than R200 000 a month for working hard I will have a go,” he insisted in a chat with Michael Clower after winning the last on Waning Crescent for the globe-trotting Neil Bruss who shortly returns to Saudi Arabia. Fortune also told Tellytrack’s Stan Elley: “I’ve had a phenomenal season for a man who was sitting on a couch a year ago. I’ve ridden 196 winners including Zimbabwe, I’m a bit fitter and a bit lighter these days and if I was a trainer I would probably pick myself!”

The connections of Drakenstein stallion Duke Of Marmalade’s 5yo son Big Orange will not make a decision on a Melbourne Cup start until weights are released. Glorious Goodwood winner Big Orange, fifth with 55.5kg in last year’s Cup, is likely to have his next start in the Irish St Leger with trainer Michael Bell and owner Bill Gredley ruling the dual Goodwood Cup winner out of a trip to North America.”We will be waiting for the weights for the Melbourne Cup. Mr Gredley is lukewarm about making that long trip if Big Orange gets a prohibitive weight,” Bell told the Racing Post.”The bottom weight won the race last year and it is difficult to give weight away in such a tough race - look at Snow Sky last year.”Snow Sky, who carried 58kg in the Cup, finished 23rd of the 24 runners behind Prince Of Penzance (53kg).

Weights for the Melbourne Cup will be released on 13 September.

169?

Joao Moreira has set his sights on another record after setting new benchmark of 168 wins in a season.

Every year, Moreira has threatened to improve himself for the next season and, scarily, has carried out that threat in full - but he issued the same warning after a five-win haul on the final day at Sha Tin left him at a high water mark of 168 wins for the 201516 term.

Race Name Changes The race previously known as the August Stakes, a Gr3 event run annually over 1200m on the Vaal Sand, will now be known as the Spring Spree Stakes and will be run over the same distance on the Turffontein Inside track. The handicap, offering a stake of R250 000, will be held on Saturday 3 September. The race previously known as the Sandy Beach Stakes for fillies and mares, the supporting feature over the same course and distance, will now be known as the For The Ladies Stakes and be run for a stake of R125 000 on the same day as the August Stakes.

Mick Goss

The Story of Ten After a hiatus of two years, Summerhill have fought their way back to the Champion Breeders title in a nail-biting end of season finale and can now make it an even 10 trophies on their mantelpiece.

SUMMERHILL traces its roots back to the 1870’s when Hartford Farm was granted to the family of last Colony of Natal’s Prime Minister, Sir Frederik Moor.

It passed into the hands of the Ellis family in the 1940’s and the Goss name became attached to the Hlatikulu Road stud in 1979, starting out as a 6,25% equity share in lieu of legal fees.

From there the Summerhill story has been built, brick by brick from the ground up, richly embroidered along the way with stories, people and most importantly, horses. And no-one tells it better than Mick.

Until that time, the Championship had only been won by five entities throughout its history “Whilst I didn’t inherit their worldly goods, what I did get from my father and grandfather, was the ‘disease’. For as long as I can r e m e m b e r,

horses were in my blood, and it developed into an obsession. I knew most of the racehorses in the country and their pedigrees. I knew the names of all the July winners from the ’40s onwards, and I was addicted to Duff’s Turf Guide from the time I first sat on a potty.”

As all who have met him know, Mick’s enthusiasm has waned little in the interim.

The Story of 10 While Summerhill had been knocking on the Breeders’ Championship door for a few years, the 2003/04 season announced their arrival as serious heavyweights when they finished just behind Maine Chance Farms going down in a fight.

Mick recalls, “We had spent the last six weeks of that season exchanging blows with Maine Chance and it went right to the last race on the last day of the calendar.

Two Summerhill graduates, Royal Emblem and Fez took the Thekwini and Premiers Champion Juvenile Stakes respectively, and we held a slender R180 000 lead going into the Champions Cup itself.

That’s where Maine Chance struck with Gary Alexander’s James Jaguar, winning the Championship in the very last race. Although it was the 7th or 8th title for Maine

Chance, it was the first time they won it for new owner Dr Andreas Jacobs and fitting that his investment had been so soundly rewarded.”

The following year Summerhill turned the tables, surpassing Maine Chance and taking home their very first Breeders’ Champion trophy.

We are probably better placed in terms of the quality of our horses and getting closer to international relevance than we’ve been in a long time Mick says, “For what it’s worth, until that time, the Championship had only been won by five entities throughout its history, with only Birch Bros, Koster Bros, D Cohen and Sons, Highlands Farms and Maine Chance on the honour roll.”

However from 2005 that number became six as the Breeders Championship became something of a procession, heading up the N3 to Summerhill for the next eight years in a row.

In the balance Of course, in life the only constant is change.

As the margins narrowed, Mick acknowledged that the competition were getting better and stronger year on year and Klawervlei won the Championship in 2014 and again in 2015.

H o w e v e r, this year saw Summerhill heading into the last week of the season with a R600k lead. When we chatted to Mick last week to ask how the nerves were holding up, he laughed, “I can tell you from my own experience that it can change on the last day, but I’d rather be sitting with a R600k lead, than 2nd place. We don’t have any expectations, but we’re sitting here in hope!”

With a number of meetings postponed or rained out

entirely, there seemed to be divine intervention at play and at one stage even the Gold Cup meeting looked in jeopardy. “If you recall, last year there was no Gold Cup day on the last day of the season – it was postponed by a week,” says Mick.

“Although Summerhill is sitting in the lead, I think we’d all like Gold Cup day to take place at the right time. It’s nice to have the championship races run before the season’s out because it affects so many things, including the best juvenile, champion 3yo and so on.”

As it turned out, he got his wish. Local racing completed the championship season as planned and Summerhill maintained their lead and with a little over R600k to spare, finished ahead by the proverbial half a length.

Being different With the dust having settled, the numbers totted up and the inscriptions being applied to this year’s trophies, how does it feel to have made it a perfect 10?

“It’s become very difficult to maintain one’s currency in the present environment and if I’m honest, I wasn’t sure we’d see another.”

“When we came into breeding, it was the domain principally of old farmers – people like the Prices, Kosters and Birches who had been in the game for generations. In those days, guys bred by intuition more than anything else. That still plays a material role, but the reality is that dough trumps most things and if you have it, you can simply go out and buy what you need.

“I hasten to add that it’s to the general benefit of the South African Thoroughbred - all this money is buying genetics we could never have before, which means that we are probably better placed in terms of the quality of our horses and getting closer to international relevance than we’ve been in a long time.

“However, it makes it difficult for the little guys to exist and we are in that category. Because we don’t have the dough lying around to buy the top stallion prospects or mares at sales, etc, we have to spend a bit more time thinking about what we’re going to do and how we’re going to do it – whether it’s how we manage our environment, our nutrition, investing in our staff - even just getting up a little earlier in the morning.

“Attention to those things can make a difference at the bank, the championship race and so on. It’s difficult to say those things without demeaning someone else,” Mick says reflectively. “There

are different strokes for different folks and everyone has a different view on how to manage staff, feeding and how to treat the environment but I do know that if we hadn’t done those things, we would be among the also rans.”

“Perhaps in our case the difference has been the imperative. While it would be lovely to say that our innovations have been the results of great boardroom decisions, the truth is most often it’s knee jerk, because you’ve got no-where else to go.

“It wasn’t going to be enough to look over the neighbour’s fence to see what he was doing and what we could do to catch up. We had to make changes in order to differentiate ourselves and maintain our relevance.”

Stallions “This season we’ve had 6 stallions that got the job done for us. I was pretty astounded when preparing the stuff for our stallion brochure - Mullins Bay, AP Arrow, Brave Tin Soldier, Admire Main, Kahal, Visionaire - they’ve all pulled their weight.”

I’m proud to have come through this and know I belong to a community who do worry “Summerhill has had to rely on a pool of stallions all the years we’ve been here some have been better than others - but there’s no doubt that we’d sink if we tried to achieve our results only on our stallions. We’ve had to rely on a combined push as we just don’t have the Captain Al’s, Trippis and Dynasty’s to rely on.

Potentially, we’re in a better space than we’ve been before.”

“And of course there’s Linngari, who I think is a better stallion than he’s given credit for. He stood privately and has never been exposed to proper commercial opportunities and yet he has had a good season with a good few Group winners in 2016, four Black type performers in South America this year, and he split the two rising stars of French breeding by 3 year old earnings last season. He’s a proven solid winner-getter and capable of getting a proper horse. There’s a lot to look forward to.”

Health While Mick is justifiably proud of his farm and his team, he is also at the forefront on the matter of our export protocols, delivering a compelling speech to the Asian Racing Conference in Mumbai earlier this year, which was swiftly overshadowed by his wellpublicised health scare.

“I was amazed, at times overwhelmed, by the sympathy and support. The racing game is one of the toughest in the world. People don’t like it much when you’re winning too often and let’s be honest, second sucks, but in times of adversity, there is no community as generous and sincere when you need it.

“It’s been an emotional journey for me and I’m relieved to have come through this and know I belong to a community who do worry. I’ve had messages and phone calls and people have come from all over the country just to check up on me. How do you put a value on those friendships? It’s been a fantastic revelation and almost makes getting sick after India worthwhile!”

Good space

“Hopefully we’ll get back there though, because South Africa finds itself in a slippery spot where the proven horses with an established record on which you’d like to depend are not going to be around all that much longer. If you took the top 5 out of the equation, you’d be looking for the next big horse.”

“Getting back to the conference, I’d say we’re in a better space than we’ve ever been politically, scientifically and in terms of facilities - and let’s not forget the advertisement that our horses have brought on themselves in their achievements abroad.

Most important was the reaction from our trading competitors.

“The new young horses we have on the farm are an exciting bunch – I’ve got to believe this or I wouldn’t sleep at night!” he laughs.

“We’ve seen a bit of a shift in emphasis and find ourselves with 5 sprinter-milers on the roster, four of whom have not had a runner yet. Ato’s got foals, Capetown Noir will be getting his first foals in the next few weeks, and then we’ve also got Willow Magic and Act Of War. We’re talking proper horses here.

“With good horses and well placed people who have a solid reputation in the sales rings and racecourses of the world, I think we’re in a better spot than we’ve ever been to influence a change in the way forward.”

“When we pointed out that we’ve exported horses all over the world and are regular buyers at their sales - without any reciprocity at all – even the most conservative came to the realisation that it’s time for a change.

What, if anything, are the racing operators, the sales companies and the Racing Association doing scientifically to ensure that fewer owners leave the sport and untapped markets are reached to attract new owners? arlier this year sports marketing agency Two Circles undertook the first National Racehorse Owners Survey on behalf of the ROA and BHA. Some interesting, albeit not new, facts and thoughts emerged!

1) 73% of Racehorse Owners started out with others.

2) Nearly one in four owners have taken a break, most due to finances or horse injury.

3) The most influential steps to ownership are speaking to a trainer or other owners.

4) New owners take more decision steps and are more likely to research online.

5) Ownership is born out of family history, keen interest in racing or attraction to the excitement.

6) New and syndicate owners think of the excitement above the expense.

7) Owners are not likely to recommend owning a racehorse to their friends.

8) Costs and prize money are primary lapse reasons; racecourse and trainer experience is crucial.

Information is key • More knowledge re: selecting the right trainer for our group and for the horse.

• Training fees of different trainers being more in the public domain.

• A list of trainers who purposely want to engage with new owners and encourage participation in racing.

• More information covering potential income/expenditure.

Prize money distributed & potential insurance costs.

• Clear cost models for all potential expenses relating to having a horse in full training and racing.

It is important all potential owners fully understanding the financial impact of owning racehorses. Many people don’t fully understand what they are getting into.

Jeff loyd received one of his biggest receptions of the season after making his premiership win official aboard Rebel Miss at Doomben on Saturday.

ut it wasn’t a delirious group of owners or pocket-filled punters, it was his extended family celebrating his history-making premiership winning feat.

Wife Nicola had made a surprise trip to Doomben with sons Zac and Jaden and a big support party to congratulate the 54-year-old on his premiership win.

“Coming back I was thinking ‘I had no idea this horse had so many owners’. It’s a total surprise and I wasn’t expecting that,” Lloyd said. The South African jockey completed his fairytale season in fitting style when he rounded off a winning double on Sagaronne in the final event.

“What a way to finish off a great season,” he said.

The only downside was a nine-day suspension handed down by stewards for an infringement in the fifth event. Lloyd revealed he had thought about the premiership for a long time.

After deciding to come back to riding after a stroke in 2013, he was determined not just to be making up the numbers, given the remarkable career he had enjoyed around the world.

“I wasn’t happy thinking that was the end of my career,” he said. “I set myself a challenge to ride at the highest level again and it’s very satisfying to have achieved this. “Fortunately I haven’t had a problem or injury, which has been great for me.

“I had a look this week to see which trainer I had ridden the most for, but there wasn’t just one. There has been about eight or nine trainers who have given me a lot of support and I am very grateful for that.”

Lloyd becomes the oldest jockey ever to win the Queensland metropolitan title and the man he deposed, Jim Byrne, was full of credit for the achievement.

“If anyone was going to beat me, I’m glad it was Jeff,” Byrne said.

“I know how hard he has worked. I’m ticked off I haven’t won, but Jeff is a great guy, a gentleman and it’s well deserved.” www.couriermail.com.au

What trainers could do With the advent of advanced media it is now possible for trainers to give you a glimpse of your horse working without you having to be there at the crack of sparrow. Those trainers that embrace the new methods will involve their clients more and improve relationships.

• More transparency in the sport and trainers who don’t lie to line their own pockets.

• Trainers being more informative and upfront when problems arise.

Owning a horse is one thing. Having a good / sociable / honest / approachable / listening trainer is another.

Nothing Much To Beat It!

It was a difficult week for bookmakers, made worse by the successes of Minding and another tough three-year-old filly in Dancing Star, the winning favourite in the Stewards’ Cup.

his handsome filly was running for the fifth time this year and for the 10th time in her career, yet there is no sign of that busy campaign leaving any kind of mark.

The collision came once more at the top of the straight when Ryan Moore, Minding’s jockey, began to edge out from behind Swiss Range and Queen’s Trust, who had combined to set a steady pace.

Alive to the danger of giving the hot favourite a free run, James Doyle rushed alongside on Beautiful Romance, forcing Moore to haul back.

Briefly, and alarmingly for her backers, Minding had her head in the air and was squeezed back to last place.

Cruising In a bigger field around here, that kind of setback can be enough to end your chance, but there were five runners taking part this time and Minding’s quality allowed her to cruise back into contention in the manner suggested by odds of 1-5. It was all over by the furlong pole, though Queen’s Trust kept on well to be second and might be Group One quality herself if she does not come up against Minding again.

Top Jockey Ryan Moore was crowned Racing UK Qatar Goodwood Festival Top Jockey for the third time with eight victories at the West Sussex course over the five days.

Only Richard Hughes has won more races in modern times at the Festival - nine in 2010 - and Moore signed off with a double courtesy of Minding and Lockheed on Saturday, following his treble on Friday.

Moore won the title previously in 2009 and 2007. The late Sir Gordon Richards holds the record as the most successful rider at Glorious Goodwood, with 10 wins in both 1947 and 1949.

He also had nine successes in 1946, a figure matched by Lester Piggott in 1974 and Hughes more recently.

Top Trainer Trainer Mark Johnston, based in Yorkshire, gained his fourth winner of the 2016 Qatar Goodwood Festival when Hawatif took the 1400m Qatar Handicap.

He finished the Festival with the same number of winners Aidan O’Brien and Sir Michael Stoute, but had more seconds and thirds, six and four.

He thus gained his 10th leading trainer award at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, with his other titles having come in 2014, 2012, 2009, 2006, 2005, 2003, 2002, 2000 and 1998.

Seeking The Gold

O

Claiborne Farm based sire, Seeking The Gold, died last week at the advanced age of 31.

The horse had been pensioned from stud duties since 2008, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

ne of the very best sire sons of his legendary sire, Seeking The Gold won or was placed in 14 of his 15 outings, with his victories including the Gr1 Super Derby and Gr1 Dwyer Stakes. He also ran second to Horse of The Year Alysheba (Alydar) in the 1988 Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Classic and retired to stud with earnings in excess of $2.3 million.

Seeking The Gold was produced from the same foal crop as Mr Prospector’s champion 2YO and highly influential son, Forty Niner (sire of, among others, champion sire, Distorted Humor), 1000 Guineas winner, Ravinella, and Gr1 Frizette Stakes winner, Classic Crown.

Fast Play

A top class racehorse, whose half brother Fast Play (Seattle Slew) went on to become a Grade One winner at two, Seeking The Gold was also going to prove a popular, commercial stallion.

He was out of the top class broodmare, Con Game, and was bred on the same Mr Prospector/Buckpasser cross as the influential sires, and outstanding broodmare sires, Miswaki and Woodman.

Seeking the Gold certainly lived up to expectations, becoming not only a top class sire but an exceptional broodmare sire.

He sired 92 stakes winners from 937 foals, giving him the impressive statistic of siring nearly 10% stakes winners to foals - a sign of a top class stallion!

Dubai Millenium

While known widely as an exceptional sire of fillies, with both daughters Flanders and Heavenly Prize official North American champions, (and another, Seeking The Pearl, the first Japanese based horse to win a Gr1 race in Europe), it was a son of Seeking The Gold that proved his sire’s best runner.

Just once defeated (when failing to stay in the Epsom Derby), Dubai Millennium is one of the greatest gallopers of the century. The ill-fated champion, who died after just half a season at stud, won nine of ten outings, with his wins including romps in the G1 Dubai World Cup (by six lengths), G1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (by eight lengths), and G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (by six lengths).

Seeking The Gold Another son, Jazil, won the Gr1 Belmont Stakes, while another, Lujain, showed himself to be a high class twoyear-old when romping home to a four length win in the 1998 Gr1 Middle Park Stakes.

While neither Jazil or Lujain achieved much at stud, Dubai Millennium has ensured his name (and that of Seeking

Nine winners on board for champion

Frankel Breaks New Ground Frankel’s flying start with his first two-year-olds broke new ground on Sunday when his daughter Soul Stirring scored on her debut at Sapporo in Japan, and in the process became the first winner outside of Europe for her sire.

T

rained by Kazuo Fujisawa and ridden by Christophe Lemaire, the filly was settled in the middle of the pack before making her move as the field turned for home. As the race entered its final stages she found an extra burst of speed to win by a neck.

The Shadai Farm homebred boasts a classy pedigree as her dam is none other than Stacelita, a daughter of Monsun who won six Group/Grade 1 contests during her career. Soul Stirring is a half-sister to Southern Stars, a three-year-old daughter of Smart Strike who won a 2000m maiden at Sandown for John Gosden in April.

She is not the first offspring of Frankel to have hit the track in Japan as earlier this month the colt Rise Eagle made his debut at Chukyo, where he finished fifth.

Frankel, an eight-year-old son of Galileo who stands at Banstead Manor Stud, has made a blistering start to his stallion career having supplied eight winners in Europe including Group 3 heroine Fair Eva. Sunday’s victory takes his tally of scorers from his first crop to nine. www.racingpost.com

Soul Stirring

The Gold) will live on in the stud book, thanks to the deeds of his outstanding sire son, and triple Gr1 winner, Dubawi. The latter, who will be represented by a first son at stud in South Africa in the form of Willow Magic, is currently one of the world’s top stallions, with his current top performers including the magnificent Postponed.

Mafki

Dubawi, already the sire of a top class young sire son in the form of Makfi (the latter already has a French classic winner at stud), has over 100 stakes winners to his credit, with 23 Group or Grade One winners. With Dubawi continuing to cover some of the world’s best mares, his success should continue to grow from year to year, and many regard him as second only to Galileo among the world’s top sires.

Dubai Millennium was not the sole son of Seeking The Gold to sire high class runners however.

The late sire’s Gr1 Florida Derby winner, Cape Town, sired Gr1 Kentucky Oaks winner and US champion, Bird Town, while another son, Petionville, has more than 40 (6% SW to foals) black type winners to his credit, including outstanding filly, Island Fashion, and Gr2 Godolphin Mile winner, Two Step Salsa.

The latter is himself now enjoying some success at stud – he produced ill-fated G1 Blue Grass Stakes winner

Dance With Fate in his first crop to race.

Seeking The Gold also exerted a considerable influence on the Breeders’ Cup Championships –he himself was responsible for the Breeders’ Cup winners Cash Run (Juvenile Fillies), Flanders (Juvenile Fillies) and Pleasant Home (Distaff) and his daughters produced subsequent winners, Blame (Classic), She Be Wild (Juvenile Fillies) and Take Charge Brandi (Juvenile Fillies).

His daughter, Sterling Pound, made a notable contribution to the breed by producing Gr2 winner and very successful, if ill-fated, sire, Exchange Rate (Danzig), with the latter’s top runners including champion 2yo, Reckless Abandon, who sadly had fertility issues when he retired to stud.

Seeking The Gold’s daughters enjoyed notable success to the cover of the late, great Dynaformer. This mating produced multiple Gr1 winners, Riskaverse, champion 2yo filly, White Moonstone, and five time Gr1 winner, Point Of Entry, among others.

Local Gold

Seeking The Gold also left a mark in South Africa.

Not only is he responsible for the successful Cape sire, Windrush (the latter sire of champion, Mother Russia, and this season’s high class 2yos, Nordic Breeze and Lunar Rush), but he produced another son, Lecture, who sired champions, Copper Parade and Rock Opera, and a daughter, Quaestio, dam of Gr2 Nursery winner and millionaire, Kavanagh.

(Ironically his grandson, Copper Parade, was promoted to first at the expense of fellow Seeking The Gold grandson, Kavanagh, in the 2010 Gr1 Golden Horseshoe.)

The record breaking, Hear The Drums was another grandson of Seeking The Gold to score in this country, racking up no fewer than 35 wins during his career.

New Stallion Off The Mark - MAIN AIM

Main Aim - On Target!

Southford Stud’s resident sire Main Aim got off the mark in smashing style on Sunday when his daughter Golden Mystery won the Listed Breeders Fillies Mile at Borrowdale.

A

n uber consistent sort, the 2yo Golden Mystery (who was picking up her first career win) was given a superb ride from Andew Fortune to land the 1600m contest by half a length. Bred by Ormond Ferraris, Golden Mystery (who was one of two runners in the race for

Main Aim) has now won or placed in five of her six outings and she should not stop here. To date, nine of Main Aim’s first crop have either won or finished in the money. Himself a top class sprinter-miler, Main Aim won six races, including the G3 John Of Gaunt Stakes twice and he earned more than £270 000 in prize money. The talented galloper also put

up a number of cracking efforts in defeat- most notably when second, to Fleeting Spirit, in the 2009 Gr1 July Cup, where Main Aim had no fewer than eight Group 1 winners behind him. (Among those beaten by Main Aim in the July Cup were not only SA legend J J The Jet Plane, but hot young sire Paco Boy, and African Rose – whose unbeaten daughter Fair

Eva is currently among the leading fancies for the 2017 classics).

A son of champion sprinter and outstanding sire Oasis Dream (his son

Querari is responsible for Sunday’s Gr1 winning 2yo Querari Falcon), Main Aim is from an outstanding family. His dam Orford Ness won the Gr3 Prix Sandringham and is not only dam of Main Aim but also G2 Prix Dollar hero Weightless and the stakes winner Home Affairs, who was beaten under two lengths in the Gr1 Prix Jean Prat.

Main Aim, who is from the same family as sire legends Mr Prospector, Seattle Slew and Tourbillon, is well represented at the upcoming National Two Year Old Sale.
